GOTHIC Training
NAI offers 3-day introductory GOTHIC training sessions. These training sessions cover a range of introductory GOTHIC topics and are an excellent opportunity for those who are new to GOTHIC and GOTHIC users who could benefit from a refresher.
The next GOTHIC training will be held in Raleigh, NC on Sept. 28-30 of 2010 (Tues-Thurs).
Who Will Benefit
- Engineers who have never used GOTHIC or may have only incidental experience, such as running cases and recovering results in graphs. The training will allow you to build basic models and understand results. It is a foundation for building increasingly sophisticated models in the future.
- Engineers who may be conducting reviews of GOTHIC models and calculation performed internally or by vendors. The training will allow you to recognize indefensible approaches taken by the preparer.
- Managers who have staff who are building GOTHIC models and preparing calculations. The training will provide the necessary basis for oversight of this work.
- While the training is not designed for engineers having more extensive experience with GOTHIC, those who are in this class of users have benefited from the presentation of the software package in a sequential and orderly manner.
GOTHIC Experience Required
No GOTHIC experience is required. Participants in the training benefit from having an understanding of fundamental principles of thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics.
